If someone did this to American infrastructure, it would consider it an act of war....either way Iran is winning on all fronts.

The US was the principal player in the most sophisticated cyber-attack ever known and has been orchestrating a campaign against Iran designed to undermine the country's nuclear programme, it has been claimed.
According to anonymous senior administration sources, quoted in the New York Times, President Barack Obama decided to speed up an initiative launched by his predecessor, George W Bush, codenamed Olympic Games, which aimed to use computer viruses to attack Tehran's uranium-enrichment programme.
The disclosures about Obama's role in the cyberwar against Iran appear to show beyond doubt that the US, with the help of Israel, was behind the Stuxnet virus, which sent some of Iran's centrifuge machines – used to enrich uranium – spinning out of control. The revelation will raise questions about whether Washington was also behind the Flamer virus discovered by experts last week.
Flamer also targeted Iran, though its main aim was to spy on the country's oil industry. It is believed to have downloaded vast amounts of information over two years and had technical capabilities never seen before.
The revelations about US involvement in cyberwar may be seized upon by China and Russia, which are regularly accused by Washington of cyber espionage and theft.
